The invention is a re-sealable nozzle and cap assembly for dispensing caulking material, sealant, adhesive or the like comprising a hollow nozzle having a generally conical shape. The nozzle includes means at its wider end for connecting the nozzle to a tube. External threaded sections of varying diameter are located along the length of the nozzle. The size of the aperture for dispensing the caulking material or the like can be selected by the user by cutting the nozzle across its conical axis at a point which results in the proper aperture diameter. The assembly also includes a hollow, cylindrical cap sealed at one end and having internal threaded sections of varying diameter along the length of said cap for engaging the exterior threads on said nozzle and thus forming an air-tight seal when said cap is screwed on said nozzle.
